Poorly cast for humans. Yes, of course, they had to go back to 1994 NYC, which is not at all similar to the city at that time. Thus, the film unfolds around the action of 2 kids. Out of 12,000,000 people in greater NYC they could only find 2 people to help develop the plot. Absurd and short sighted casting. The rest of the film revolves around the famous prime Autobots and the bad bots that once again want to destroy the world. Hackneyed violence, endless destruction and truncated dialogue follow which makes the film seem split from its opening interaction. Yes, the world is saved, as always - which is obvious & predictable. Save your money and rent one of the old Star Wars classics. Lastly, never go to a Sunday afternoon 3:30pm matinee. 3yr old kids are a "mighty" distraction.

Movie, what movie? A sequence of violent choreographed fights doesn't do much for a meaningful cinematic theme. Indeed, Wick uses a plethora of weapons to kill people. Knives are back, big time, a horse literally kicks to death one would be assassin, and even dogs are employed to bite bad guys. Sadly, there are no bad women; evidently, they're above reproach in this production. Halle Berry, is probably the highlight of the film. She demonstrates both conviction and meaningful temperament as someone Wick uses to climb the ladder to the high table. Berry's dialogue is strong and coherent - kudos to her. Wick, on the other hand, grumbles his way through this film with typical painful commentary. "Guns, lots of guns," revived from his first "matrix" fits the moment but it's not very original. The closing scene is "ugh." John, is blow off the roof of the Continental. He bounces off of awnings, a fire escape and slams to the street. Unbeknown to the audience his body is picked up by one of the Bowery King's men and trundled back to Fishburne. He, who was thought to be dead, and Wick are now both mad and ready for vengeance. Yep, that's the sequel. For me, it's of no interest. Only 3 out of 5 peaches for this 21st century punch out.
